I'm afraid I don't understand the question

Money, who needs it
Let me live my life free and easy
Put the toothbrush in my hand
And let me be a travlin' man

It always sounded like "Do the jerk baby" to me. On the Motown Story released in 1971, Jr. says it was a dance back then called the Shotgun, but I don't remember it.

Years ago, I think on Vh1,...

Yes, and she started her own lawsuit against Motown for royalties but did not finish it

So that she would not lash out at Diana and Gordy in the press...which she eventually did.

It is a tribute to Scherrie Payne that the ladies got another recording contract in 1974. Motown was...

[QUOTE=Ollie9;795719]I respectfully disagree. Are we saying that as opposed to Mary, Diana, would blindly comply with anything and everything Gordy wanted to the detriment of her and the group. As a...

As usual we have strayed off the basic point of Motown not liking Mary. I will maintain that was not the case.

To my recollection Deke Richards did say the released set was mostly from the last...

Jean's family owned Terrell's and Terrell's II, hair salons. Several of her siblings had taken up barbering and hairdressing. In the early 80s, before joining the FLOs, Jean attended a class at a...

If Martha went for that then she needed the money

Last I checked there were only one original Commodore. Ruth Pointer is the only living Pointer Sister performing with her daughter and granddaughter. There are no living Spinners. El DeBarge is...

As someone posted earlier, when Jean first joined a new medley of 60s hits was assembled and as Jean sang the lead on Come See About Me, Mary and Cindy threw in a verse from Baby Love and then from...

Yes, looking back I think the Supremes died when Jean left. And, after talking to her at length in 1978 I really don't think anything would have stopped Jean from leaving. Even if Bad Weather had...

Jean and Mary got along just find in the beginning, though Jean grew closer to Cindy. Jean was just not into the party scene like Mary was. While touring Jean stayed in her room and rarely went out...

Yes, the Jean led group did get some geers at one of the fundraisers, I don't remember if it was Save The Children or Operation Push or one of those types of things. Some of the Stax acts were there...

Mark Bego has seen them, he helped Mary with both books. When I was doing the Mysteries and Scandals on Florence in 2001 I got Mark to interview. I asked him specifically about Mary's diaries...

According to Motown, in their original releases the only Jean Terrell led Supremes single to hit the million mark was Stoned Love

Up The Ladder was over 800K in sales, Nathan was about the same. ...

OK, I think I can speak on the marital abuse from experience. My mother was a battered woman. I watched it helplessly for 12 years. Not only is there emotional damage done to the wife but to the...

I didn't realize there was an alternate vocal on Can You Give Me Love, I'll have to listen again

I bought this lp in its first release, in fact it was the first GK&TP album I ever bought. I enjoyed it immensely then and it still holds up 52 years later. Their debut Motown album is also...

I think possibly the main reason for getting rid of WDOLG is that they could never recreate the song anywhere close to the studio recording. It was actually quite boring when done live.

yea well that was the double standard. He could bone whatever women he wanted but when Ross started dating a football player he put an end to it quick, threatening her with her career. When she got...

If Mary didn't like being controlled she wouldn't have stayed with an abusive man for 7 yrs who beat her ferociously and drained her bank account. Pedro Ferrer was far more controlling than Berry...

It's not the Motown didn't like Mary, they just felt her contribution to the Supremes was more in image instead of talent. Mary had a deep singing voice much like Tina Turner or Anita Baker. In the...

I LOVE the single edit of Stoned Love. I thought repeating "don't you hear the wind blowin'" was a stroke of genius. I never liked River Deep but the single edit is also superior. For Stoned Love...

Many of the fans love this album, but I remember being underwhelmed. Motown was stingy, giving us barely 30 minutes of music. Two more tracks could have been added for sure.

In one of Randy's...
